40 pounds? Wow! I think I would start by cutting the melon in half crosswise. That will give you smaller chunks to deal with. The first cut will be the most difficult regardless of whether you cut crosswise or lengthwise. After that place the halves flat side down and have at it.
As for the knife, I would use a good chef's knife. Probably because that's what I have. If I had a cleaver, I might try that.
